Traveling with warehouses: I raised a brood of little villains

The children seemed to really want to see the Lantern Festival. After all, this place is much more lively than Baisha Town, and there are many weird gadgets.

Children like to be lively, so they don't want to leave.

Lin Ruyi agreed after thinking about it, it's okay to go back one day later anyway.

This is the fifth night of staying in the inn, and she has gradually gotten used to it, so Lin Ruyi slept much better that night than the previous few days.

I got up early the next morning, and the inn specially prepared Lantern Festival for the guests.

The children are very fond of the Lantern Festival, and they ate it happily.

After breakfast, everyone went to the street for shopping. Today's street is more lively than the previous two days. There are many hawkers setting up stalls. Everyone is shouting loudly, making it even more lively.

There are also some places where firecrackers are being set off, which is extremely festive.

Lin Ruyi felt a little noisy, so she found a place to drink tea and let Qiuying take the three children to go shopping.

Although guessing lantern riddles had to wait until night, many people in the teahouse were discussing this matter. After all, 1000 taels of silver was not a small sum.

"I think it must be Zhao Xiu who won the first place. He is the youngest and smartest scholar in our county. It is said that this year he will participate in the Qiu Wei, and he will definitely win the exam." The man at the table next to him looked determined. Said.

"I feel like it's him too." Another person at the same table echoed.

"Ham, that's not necessarily the case. This kind of thing is not so absolute. What if someone is lucky. And this member Chen gave such a high reward, who knows if there are other ways in it." The person at the next table The man immediately shook his head and said with a look of disapproval.

The two men who spoke just now looked at the man curiously and asked, "This brother listens to you, what do you know, tell me."

"I don't know, I'm just talking nonsense." The man immediately waved his hand and said, and then drank tea from a teacup.

But the more he said this, the more curious the others became, and they gathered around his table, wanting to eat melons.

"I really don't know. I just think 1000 taels is too much. Although Mr. Chen's family has money, they can't spend so much money just to do some kind of broken lantern riddle. And there are no scholars in his family. Why did you come out?" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the man could only put down his teacup and said in embarrassment.

"When you say that, I have a guess. I heard that Mr. Chen has a daughter who is very fat, short and fat, like a winter melon. He doesn't want to find a son-in-law for his daughter, right? That's why he did it. This is what happened." Immediately someone gossiped.

When talking about Chen Yuanwai's daughter, there was obviously two points of contempt and ridicule.

"Haha, it's good to be fat, it's good to give birth." Someone said with a sly smile.

"No, it's not surprising that people who have money and eat well will naturally gain weight."

"She is not so fat. I heard that she weighs 200 catties. She is as fat as a pig, and her whole body is shaking when she walks." The person next to her immediately continued.

Lin Ruyi sat beside her drinking tea, and frowned slightly when she heard what these people said.

For a group of big men to use a woman's appearance as a talking point, it's really a bit of a drop in price.

Looking at those few people again, each of them looks crooked, how dare you judge other people's looks, it's really too low.

At this moment, a man in white clothes stood up at a table in the corner, and shouted at several people: "Shut up. It's too much for you to say that about a woman who hasn't left the cabinet."

His loud voice attracted everyone's attention.

Lin Ruyi also looked over, the man was not tall, he was dressed as a scholar, and he was holding a book in his hand, so he should be a scholar.

"Hey, isn't this Zhao Xiucai?" Someone immediately recognized that the person was Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan didn't speak, but had a sullen face.

"Oh, let's start to maintain it now. Our brothers also said that you will definitely get No. 1. Maybe you will be the door-to-door son-in-law of the Chen family soon. Remember to come here and give us some wedding candies." That The man who said Miss Chen's words were the worst, looked at Zhao Xuan with a smirk.

"Nonsense. What is your intention to ruin a woman's reputation like this? If Mr. Chen knows that you have ruined his daughter's reputation, do you think he will settle accounts with you?" Zhao Xuan looked at the words with a calm face and angrily. man.

That person was obviously still a little afraid of Mr. Chen, so he didn't dare to say anything immediately, so he muttered a few words in a low voice.

Of course, the others didn't dare to offend Mr. Chen, and they didn't dare to talk about the Miss Chen family as presumptuously as before. They just whispered in twos and threes.

Lin Ruyi glanced at Zhao Xiucai. Although he was thin, he was not weak. He really had the arrogance and anger of a scholar.

She admired this kind of person, and seeing that there was only a pot of tea on his table and no plate of pastries, she asked Chun Lu to ask Xiaoer to give him two plates of pastries, saying that they were free.

Zhao Xuan's family is poor, so he came here to drink tea today, and he was waiting for someone here, so he ordered a pot of the cheapest tea, and he didn't even have any pastries.

Seeing the cakes that Xiao Er sent over, he was obviously a little nervous, and emphasized to Xiao Er that he didn't ask for pastries.

According to what Chun Lu told him, Xiao Er said that it was given for free.

Zhao Xuan declined for a while, but couldn't bear Xiaoer's insistence on giving it to him, so he could only accept the pastry.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Ruyi planned to find the children.

Unexpectedly, when he was checking out, he happened to see Zhou Jingyu and his servant coming down from the second floor.

Zhou Jingyu also did not expect to meet Lin Ruyi here, and his expression was a little surprised.

"Madam Chu, what a coincidence, you are drinking tea here too." Zhou Jingyu stepped forward to greet Lin Ruyi.

Lin Ruyi nodded and said with a smile, "Yes."

"Wu Yan, go and settle the accounts of Mrs. Chu and the others together." Zhou Jingyu told his servant.

"No, I'll do it myself." Lin Ruyi quickly waved her hand. She was invited to dinner yesterday, but today I am really embarrassed to ask him to pay the bill.

"It doesn't matter, Mrs. Chu doesn't need to worry about a little money." Zhou Jingyu's voice was gentle, and it sounded very comfortable, making people reluctant to refute.

Lin Ruyi thought that the money was really not much, and they didn't order much, and they didn't want to be polite with Zhou Jingyu any more.

After paying the bill, several people went out together. Before going out, Zhou Jingyu glanced at Zhao Xuan twice, with admiration in his eyes.

Lin Ruyi noticed it immediately, guessing that Zhou Jingyu happened to overhear Zhao Xiucai talking about those people just now.

After going out, Zhou Jingyu took the initiative to ask: "Mrs. Chu was inside just now, she should have seen that young man scolding some strong men, right?"

Lin Ruyi thought about those few people, it seems that they are not strong men, they all have sharp mouths and monkey cheeks, with crooked melons and jujubes.

She nodded anyway, and then asked, "Well, I saw it. What's the matter?"
